2007 Mass. App. Div. 185 (2007)

Brenda Rizzo v. Mary Jane Cotter

Massachusetts Appellate Division, Southern District.

November 19, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kristopher S. Stefani for the plaintiff.

Susan Sullivan for the defendant.

Present: Williams, P.J., Welsh & Barrett, JJ.


Williams, P.J.

The plaintiff, Brenda Rizzo ("Rizzo"), claims error by both the judge and the jury following an adverse verdict on her motor vehicle tort action. Rizzo contends that the judge should have allowed her deposition into evidence given her absence from trial, and that the jury erred in finding that the negligence of the defendant, Mary Jane Cotter ("Cotter"), did not cause Rizzo's injuries. We find no error and dismiss the appeal.
